long-term funding. Hodson said he left the company before it went under.
Graphite is one of the most sought-after materials used in electric vehicle batteries. The Biden administration is seeking to make a priority of domestic graphite production, which is now dominated by China. In 2022, the Department of Energy announcedto makers of battery components, including several firms specializing in graphite production. Omnis is not on that list.
Pyrolysis and graphite are used for speciality scientific applications, Miller said. But he expressed doubt there is a large enough market to support its use by large graphite makers.Using hydrogen to fuel a power plant can be similarly tricky because it burns much faster and is less stable than natural gas. General Electric, Mitsubishi Power and Siemens Energy have, where they have blended natural gas with hydrogen to run existing gas plants.
Hodson acknowledged the challenges facing other graphite makers and power companies, but said Omnis has technology to overcome the obstacles after spending 12 years refining its pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis normally generates large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, but Hodson said he has developed a way to eliminate those by heating the material at temperatures above 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.Zeeco Inc.
